*I’ve removed the link to the form for adding more books for now because someone has sent info for a bunch (thank you!), and I’ll need time to get them all added. Also sorry if I get any character info incorrect, I edited the form and it messed some things up.*
Representation of physical disabilities is hard to find, especially in sci-fi/fantasy, so my goal is to make a list containing as many sci-fi/fantasy books with physically disabled and chronically ill characters as possible.
List below can be filtered by genre, character, or disability. You can also check this list of all disability tags. If you’re looking for a specific book, it should come up if you use the blog search in the sidebar.
Since I have not read all of these books myself, I cannot guarantee that all the information is correct. I also cannot promise that these books have good representation of disability. If you find incorrect info, if I’ve used incorrect language, etc., feel free to email me to let me know!
If multiple books in a series are about the same character and the same disabilities (i.e. no changes), I only include one entry in the list.
Notes:Protagonist has bones of crystal and can do very little and is tired easily; it gets cured eventually, but before that it's shown how it influences her. One of the love interests is blind; it is not cured in the first book, but it's unknown what will happen throughout the series.
